Injury report: Livingston, Motiejunas still out

Rockets guard Shaun Livingston and forward/center Donatas Motiejunas missed Thursday’s practices, but both are considered close to returning. Motiejunas has not been at the Rockets practices because of an infection. Livingston sat out with a groin muscle injury, but said he can keep up by watching the workouts.

“It can be (frustrating) but I know I definitely came into camp in shape,” Livingston said. “I still feel good. The main thing is just getting healthy.

“Just the teaching mechanisms we’re using helps the younger guys to learn. I talk to some of the young guys to show them how the NBA game is played and our system, what we’re trying to establish.”
